The 1828 Vermont gubernatorial election took place in September and October, and resulted in the election of Samuel C. Crafts to a one-year term as governor.[1]
In the election for lieutenant governor, the committee determined that Democratic-Republican Henry Olin had won election to a second one-year term.[1] Contemporary newspaper articles reported the results as: Olin, 14,928 (95.8%); Lyman Fitch, 652 (4.2%).[2]
Benjamin Swan won election to a one-year term as treasurer, his twenty-ninth.[1] Though he had nominally been a Federalist, Swan was usually endorsed by the Democratic-Republicans and even after the demise of the Federalist Party he was frequently unopposed.[3] Newspapers of the time did not report vote totals, but did indicate that Swan had been reelected with no opposition.[2]
The vote totals in the governor's race were reported as follows:[1]
